Husker_x Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I know distance is always an issue for anyone making this kind of decision, especially at that age. But from experience I can say that after awhile––different for everyone––you get so familiar with your new surroundings that it doesn't make much difference. What's going to matter a year from now, two years, four or five, is whether or not Owa put himself in the best possible position to become the best defensive player he could be. Eating mama's home cooking once a month isn't going to be worth much compared to the opportunity to play under Bo and Carl Pelini. Whatever happens, though, you have to wish Owa the best. He's handled his recruitment with class and didn't jerk anyone around so far as I can see. Quote Link to comment
whateveritis1224 Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 There's also the fact that having him be uncomfortable for a while will ultimately help out his chances to get a big enough pay day in the NFL to be able to help out the family even more. Out of all of his final 5, Nebraska has the best D-Line coaches and by far the best defense. The only downside will be the fact that there's a lot of competition at DE and he might not get a chance to play, but if he's as good as we're expecting, then he shouldn't have any problems.

EZ-E Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 on scout they updated it and they said he has a new timeline anybody know when it could be? The word is that it could be anytime from now until signing day. I know that sounds rather bland but that is the word. As obvious as it sounds. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 This is very exciting. Any chance he gets playing time as a freshman or does he just spend a year or 2 learning? I think that if he added them back to the list that means somethign, if he thought they were 4th or 5th he wouldnt have added them back on. If he added us back on, its cause he at least has an interest to come here. GBR Quote Link to comment

We have the DE depth that would leave a RS year an option if he decides to come here though. Quote Link to comment
teachercd Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 I don't think you need to sell him anymore, I think that you need to sell his mom. I think he is the type of kid that is looking out for the best interest of his mom and family, he seems so mature and kind hearted. I think he needs to hear from his mom that it is okay to leave home and that she will be fine. Quote Link to comment

Need to have her talk to my mom, I swear she was laughing after she dumped/dropped me off at school on the East Coast. Quote Link to comment
Minnesota_husker Posted January 5, 2010 Share Posted January 5, 2010 Agreed on the mom thing. I am only about 400 miles from home but i would not have come here if my mom was not ok with it. Bring the Mom a nice "HUSKER MOM" t-shirt and hope that Bo has a way with the ladies Quote Link to comment
